A Barefoot Boy From Station Hill: A brief autobiography with essays (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798777296160)

Dr. Grenville Phillips provides readers with a thought-provoking account of his life's journey; of the struggles and triumphs of a young black boy growing up in a poor, urban Caribbean setting and becoming a well-educated, well-bred and mannered regional corporate and financial luminary and world citizen. He also speaks directly to his young readers, offering insights and advice related to the pitfalls and challenges that might befall them along their chosen paths.

Dr. Phillips was a Principal of the Barbados and Eastern Caribbean accounting firm of Coopers & Lybrand and Managing Director of Colybrand Company Services Limited, the firm's corporate services division. He retired on the eve of the merger of the international firms of Coopers & Lybrand and Price Waterhouse but continues his practice as a Corporate and Financial consultant to a select clientele. He is also a licensed trustee under the Bankruptcy & Insolvency regime of Barbados.

"By his living, Dr. Grenville Phillips, the first of that name, has gained the respect of Barbadians not only among the local and regional professional class, but within the society at large... The story told in this text is truth to the fact of the gentrification of a working class that was 'poor but decent'; a testimony to what others in the Caribbean have called 'The Idea of Barbados'. It is an examination of a life well lived from whose telling readers will undoubtedly benefit." - Ralph Jemmott -
